Government dream

5:57am last night I dreamed about a government official traversing a snowy mountain to hunt a fugitive. The government official was on skis, trying to go up hill and failing. There was a large entourage of people circled around him including camera crews. When the government official stumbled the fugitive, who had a rifle, shot him in the back. Wounded but still alive the official pressed on. At any time the fugitive could have shot him multiple times. He could have killed him. but he didn’t. He watched the slow ascent. The mass of people moving towards him. And waited. The official got within 59 yards of the fugitive then demanded his surrender. The fugitive set down his rifle and walked toward the official, giving himself up. The scene was odd. But not staged. What was the fugitive thinking? Why did he not run? Shoot to kill?
